Not I, Deal

There is a scene in Brüno where Sacha Baron Cohen's character is so clueless between an Israeli and a Palestinian that they look as if they are about to walk out and go to the pub together. Perhaps they did.

And so to Donald Trump's "Deal of the Century", which is being laughed out both by the Palestinians and by an Israeli Right that might very well now assassinate Benjamin Netanyahu for his treachery.

Both of them deride it as the work of a person who is perfectly, almost deliciously, innocent of the Middle East and of everything to do with it. For so it is.
